Bridgeport's a small town in between Norristown & King of Prussia.Considered a Philadelpia suburb.
Although were getting more liberal ,red neck racist gun jumping mentality is in full bloom here.When I wore a March for Our Lives hoodie last year I was called a faggot,had stuff thrown at me from moving cars & was called out.(I'm a big guy & capable of defending myself) a lot.
A lot of working class white guys feel threatened & the repukes are very good at playing on that.A lot of these people think Trump is a savior.You can't convince them that they are gonna get screwed. A lot of them are on disability or SS.If they lost that they would blame Obama & not Trump!
I hear this shit all the time here especially the " Trump's trying to straighten out what Obama ruined.
It's scary! You can't have a dialog with them.They are convinced!
